Official Cut Day Discussion Thread

BugelDisciple · 08-30-2008, 04:06 PM

According to theredskins blog:
The Official Blog of The Washington Redskins

The team has announced the players that are being released to meet the 53-man limit. Here’s the list, organized by position.

* QB Derek Devine
* RB Marcus Mason
* FB Nehemiah Broughton
* WR Maurice Mann
* WR Horace Gant
* WR Billy McMullen
* WR Anthony Mix
* DT Matthias Askew
* DT Ryan Boschetti
* T Devin Clark
* T Todd Wade
* T Tavares Washington
* G Andrew Crummey
* G Fred Matua
* LB Curtis Gatewood
* LB David Holloway
* LB Danny Verdun-Wheeler
* S Patrick Ghee
* CB Cedrick Holt
* CB Matterral Richardson
* CB Byron Westbrook
* P Derrick Frost

I don't understand how this is possible? I thought that McMullen was a lock to make the team-- and if he is cut, why did we cut Mix as well.

Well McMullin is a bit of a surprise. I was thinking maybe Crummey would make it. Too bad about Boschetti--it was a numbers thing there. He worked his ass off for us.

We went with the draft picks in the end. This begs the question: how much input on the roster did Vinny have? Did he overrule folks here? Hope the coaches got the folks they wanted.

WaldSkins · 08-30-2008, 04:16 PM

Zorn said yestarday that Mcmullen was a lock. Whats up with that?

Well, he didn't quite say that. I think Jlac said that after listening to Zorn. But it's a surprise all the same--Billy played well for us, and we've got injuries there.

No, JLC said Mcmullen was a lock. Check out the presser.

I thought that most of the draft picks would make the team, but all 10 made it. Cudos to Vinny Cerrato! Thats 20% of the active roster. Pretty unbelievable IMO.

Well, that would be unbelievable if Cerrato had nothing to do with the final roster. I would say he has some hand in the decision as to who gets cut and who makes it. So naturally his picks make the team.

BugelDisciple · 08-30-2008, 04:20 PM

They must be pretty confident that Kelly will make a speedy recovery, otherwise the WR cuts make no sense.

Redskins_P · 08-30-2008, 04:24 PM

Hopefully this day ends the lovefest with Mix.

redskins5044 · 08-30-2008, 04:30 PM

i dont understand the wr spot. if kelly is hurt and dont know when he can play and thomas slow in learning the offense. we still dont have a big WR to go to. McMullen at least played well in the preseason and is a big veteran WR i just dont understand.

skinsfan_nn · 08-30-2008, 04:31 PM

After Mix missing time with injuries and not performing very well, no surprise hes out.

I am surprised at the Billy McMullen move I really thought he earned a spot, and as stated earlier it would have been a luxury to have room for Mason but its a numbers game and no way four RB's where staying.

And Ryan Boschetti will be back eventually.....like always

And they kept Justin Tyron....? Bad Move!

Other than that no surprises.

Why?

Don't you want to give a guy a chance to be the player you think he can be?

You need more reasons than he just flat out sucks...?

I'd rather not, I've seen enough of the player he already is. He can talk, he just can't walk!
